<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi, Carline, et al.: <br>
<br>
<br>
1. The statewide Green Party email list
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:gpca-votes@cagreens.org"><gpca-votes@cagreens.org></a> has been working to develop
statements describing the Green party position and supportive
reasoning. I believe these statement will be posted to the web --
but I don't know when that will happen. I just submitted a
request for that to <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:gpca-votes@cagreens.org"><gpca-votes@cagreens.org></a>, and I hope to
be able to report their response. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
2. Might it be feasible to add an item to discuss
"wiki.cagreens.org"? The position statements on the propositions
have undergone a protracted and painful process, with Michael
Feinstein holding the official draft. Most of this work could
have been avoided if the master text had been editable at least
within <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:gpca-votes@cagreens.org"><gpca-votes@cagreens.org></a> on Google Docs or
wiki.cagreens.org. I believe the ideal process would be to have
wiki.cagreens.org open to all, with people invited to analyze each
proposition as it is approved for the ballot and post their
observations on the Wiki. Wikipedia has developed very good
procedures for managing conflict over issues like this, and I
think we can benefit from using their rules. <br>
<br>
<br>
3. Might it be feasible to add a report on the activities
of the Committee Against Political Repression? Homeland Security
is engaged in a witch hunt against people who engaged on peaceful
assembly protesting the Republican National Convention in Chicago
4 years ago. In my judgment, the government's actions in this
arena continue the general McCartyite attacks on our First
Amendment rights embodied in the National Defense Authorization
Act (NDAA) of last year on top of the Effective Death Penalty and
Anti-Terrorist Act of 1996, etc. <br>
<br>
<br>
I don't think we need more than 5 minutes for either of the
latter two of these three items, and I would hope that the first
could be included in the 15 minutes allotted to a discussion of "
Putting our proposition recommendations on our website". <br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>
Spencer <br>
